- We're thrilled to share highlights from World Skate's recent High-Performance Camp at Woodward West in the breathtaking Tehachapi mountains of California. This gathering epitomized the fusion of two critical components of our program generously supported by Olympic Solidarity.
At the heart of this initiative lies the Youth Athlete Development (YAD) endeavor and the Women In Sport High Performance Pathway (WISH) scholarship.
This program aims to unearth and nurture skateboarding talents that surpass the resources available in their home environments. We were honored to host skateboarders from Peru, Senegal, Myanmar, Thailand, Morocco, Colombia, The Philippines, Indonesia, Zambia, Chile, and Mozambique. Throughout the residential skate camp, our focus wasn't just on skill enhancement but also on fostering a love for the sport and ensuring a memorable experience for all participants.
Central to the coaching aspect were three remarkable individuals from the IOC-backed Women In Sport High Performance Pathway (WISH) scholarship. Eva Niedzielska, Melissa Williams, and Lea Schairer spearheaded the camp's curriculum, with invaluable support from mentors Alain Goikoetxea and Neal Mims.
Our attendees didn't just benefit from Woodward West's top-tier facilities; they also embarked on enriching road trips to Encinitas' Poods Skatepark and the California Skateparks Training Facility near San Diego.
See how Juan Carlos Polania, Martin Jaque, Aya Asaqas, Brigtte Morales, Nyimas ‘Bunga’ Cinta, Htet Myant Naing, Konwit Ketkaeo, Jazmín Álvarez, Cindy Lou Serna, Noel Cossa, Mukuka Chande, Karim Keita and Deivid Tuesta got along as Skateboard Coaching Development Manager James Karageorgiou talks to us about what the potential for this initiative could really look like- not just within skateboarding, but beyond.

Go Nyimas bunga
mark that all contest skaters who survived corona suffered in countless ways... Speaking on behalf of this
Should pick some americans(for instance those of us in SLC, Utah live int the most isolated major metropolis in the continental United States and world besides a couple Sea barring isles... for a program like this think of more unlikely populations other "well off" citizens people
havent seen a good contest in Utah that wasnt my friends and their painstaking effort since World Skate was last here
Access to SKateboarding still is a joke though at best
